Apple recently rolled out a fresh iOS beta to developers with the main goal of testing a bunch of features aimed at improving Maps in Japan. The software likely has additional (undocumented) changes as well but, most importantly, is not bound by a timer.

The creator of several jailbreak add-ons, @iH8sn0w, released the news on Twitter yesterday.

He clarifies that iOS 6.1.1 Build 10B311 still only activates with developer accounts, adding, “Just because it doesn’t expire doesn’t mean its not a beta.”

While he cannot confirm whether this is a new trend for Apple, iH8sn0w believes the move is smart. “Apple doesn’t have to worry about expiry dates anymore and apticket/nonces + stop signing tss req,” he wrote in a subsequent tweet.
